   I hope we don't move in that direction. It would be a waste of perfectly fine CPU cycles and memory. Admittedly natively built modules pose a tooling challenge but we've been doing that for decades. WebAssembly could serve as a cr

   I thought they do a static recompilation too, from the original binary, but I can't look it up now.

   In general I find that C# builds are fairly quick. Nonetheless Ruby is a pleasure to work with. As for other interpreted languages, JavaScript is a mixed bag. The Webpack/Babel stack can be smooth if hot reloading and such are set up w

   A project I'm working on now relies on a third party platform that takes fairly long to reload after changes. I've managed to run some parts standalone which has been super helpful but in general there's a lot of waiting. In

   Apart from being spam, this site is a whopping 9 MB to load, 3.5 MB of which is JavaScript spread out over no fewer than 35 files. Among the 30 stylesheets there are three separate copies of Bootstrap.

   I second the other question, wondering where this is. In the Netherlands, the Wikimedia Foundation is a registered charity.

   It's increasingly clear that the US is not a safe place to store your personal or business data. One might argue that just-some-person like me isn't an interesting target, but like most people I hold information that's privat

   I abandoned the project as soon as my curiosity was satisfied. If I ever revisit it I’ll upload it to somewhere and submit here because indeed it’s worth sharing.

    It's super impressive! But it won't run on 64 bit Windows. I recently wrote a simple 32 bit Windows app that runs on 3.11 (with the 32 bit subsystem installed) through Windows 10. On the more recent Windows versions it supports th

    I like the style this uses to explain the else-if construct. A few fundamental concepts are explained and combined in a way that it not only makes else-if obvious but also anything else using these fundamentals. SICP also uses that style th

    Huge props to the team for finding this out. What a nasty issue. One question about the intro, which states that this is the first mass produced AMP architecture, but isn't the PlayStation 3's Cell CPU one?

    I like this a lot. For some reason it doesn’t quite work in Safari on Mac as the fields don’t get populated, but in Chrome it worked very well.

    Interesting. It doesn't have a man page, the help output gives no background info and there's very little information online. I'm curious to find out more about this tool.

    I started experimenting with Xamarin after they made it free with the open source announcement and I'm cautiously optimistic now. I can work around the works of Xamarin Studio (or the VS plugin) and I like C# and Swift about equally, b

    My Windows machines are not encrypted because the home edition they run does not support BitLocker. Microsoft should reconsider. Most of my other installations (Mac, Linux, FreeBSD) are encrypted (LVM, ZFS, etc) or will be soon. To be hones

    I’m happy about this. It keeps the spirit of the short messages while doing away with unnecessary technical limitations.

    Maybe some of it also has to do with curiosity. Web development isn't the most fulfilling work intellectually, and when I find myself drawn to interesting ideas I want to play around with them somewhere. Of course the cookie cutter web

    I'm still hoping for API convergence between the Mac and iOS, opening the road to universal Mac/iOS apps. People keep bringing up how iOS is designed for touch and the Mac for mouse and keyboard, and how screen sizes are different

    Windows does run on everything. It won't run plain old Intel Win32 binaries on everything, with good reason. UWP is hardly a new standard. It's the continuation of the Windows Phone/Windows 8 APIs and WPF, which dates back to

    You get multitasking, the taskbar and windowing. It's unforunate that there are so few apps. Microsoft made a good effort with Office, now imagine getting Visual Studio on there. That would rock.
